Free Plan & 7-Day Free Trial

ScraperAPI offers a free plan of 1,000 free API credits per month (with a maximum of 5 concurrent connections) for small scraping projects. For the first 7-days after you sign up you will have access to 5,000 free requests to test the API at a larger scale. If you need additional API credits for testing purposes, please contact support.

What happens if I run out of credits before the end of my current subscription?

  1. Student, Hobby, Startup, Business, Scaling or Professional monthly plan - If you reach 100% of your credit usage before your plan renews, you have the following options:

  • Auto-Upgrade: You can seamlessly upgrade to the next plan tier, which often provides a better price-per-credit.

  • Get a Custom Plan: If a standard upgrade isn’t the right fit, you can contact our support team to create a custom plan tailored to your needs.

  1. Hobby, Startup, Business, or Professional annual plan- If you use all your annual credits before your year is over, you can choose to:

  • Re-subscribe to Your Annual Plan: Start a new 12-month plan on your upcoming billing date to get a fresh batch of annual credits.

  • Upgrade to a Higher Monthly Plan: Move to a flexible monthly plan that better suits your new usage level.

  • Talk to Us: Contact our support team to discuss a custom solution.

  1. Scaling monthly or annual plan - If you run out of credits, you have the following options:

  • Continue with Pay-As-You-Go: A pop-up will give you the option to continue service by using extra credits at a fixed, predictable rate.

  • Contact Your Sales Representative: You can get in touch with our sales team to discuss a custom enterprise plan.

  1. Professional or Advanced monthly plan - Both plans include Pay-As-You-Go. If you reach your credit limit before your plan renews, a pop-up will give you the option to continue service using extra credits at a fixed, predictable rate.

  2. Enterprise - If you reach your credit limit mid-cycle, a pop-up will allow you to continue using extra credits at a fixed, predictable rate.​ You can get in touch with our sales team to discuss changes and possible upgrades to your Entenrprise plan.

Cancelling a plan

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard or by contacting support. You will not be charged for cancelling.

Getting a refund

We offer a 7-day no questions asked refund policy. If you are unhappy with the service for any reason, contact support and they'll help you with getting your refund.

Change Credit Card Details

You can change your card details anytime on the Billing page in your dashboard or by contacting support, who will help you securely change your card details.

Pay-As-You-Go

Users on our Scaling, Professional, Advanced and Enterprise plans have access to a Pay-As-You-Go option.

To protect you from surprise bills, you will have the option to set a monthly spending cap on your Pay-As-You-Go usage. Your service will not exceed this cap unless you change your settings on the billing page. This is a spending limit, not an amount you will be pre-charged.

Bandwidth Based Pricing

Currently, we don’t offer bandwidth based pricing. All our plans are based on the number of requests you make to the API each month.

Buying Individual IPs

Currently, we don’t have an option to purchase individual proxies from our pools.
